Conservative Group Tries to Make Obama’s Aunt an Immigration Issue

Sure, makes sense coming from the right; there’s a huge financial mess, one ice storm, one brewing volcano, two wars and countless other real problems to contend with and their worried that he isn’t distracted by this. Unbelievable… oh, wait; did they say this was a conservative group… gotcha.

Wait I’ve got aend Limbaugh to Kenya along with his pal Phil Gingrey.

I’m a Republican but I’m getting pretty sick of all the B.S. the radicals in my party are trying to make an issue of. Our country is in a world of hurt and this sort of garbage makes the GOP look like a group of twits. Stick to getting this country on it’s feet and bring the GOP back from the radical right.

Don’t care about right or left.
The law does NOT have gray areas. If she is breaking the law, she needs to go.
Think of it this way, money she is getting from the Government to live off of, could be going to an “AMERICAN” who truly needs it.
Now, why don’t Obama sponsor her and take care of her bills?

ajax: Her lawyer won a stay of deportation last year under Bush. SHE IS NOT BREAKING THE LAW. So:
“The law does NOT have gray areas. If she is breaking the law, she needs to go.”
You fully agree that this is a non-issue since she is not breaking the law and is being ground through the system like anyone else. In fact, deporting her would quite clearly be breaking the law.

Gee, if you’re going to deport anyone, deport Limburger for pete’s sake!
Lay off the old lady!!

Don’t forget the illegal immigrant that fixed Obama’s flat tire in 1985.
…the GOP is sad.

Deporting Rush would be stupid. It’s better to let him drive the fundamentalist Republican ideology off the cliff as soon as possible so the conservatives can put together a new, legitimate party and get back to serving the country.

omg. Obama is so much drama. Subpoenas and folks not paying taxes and brother and on and on.
It’s something scandalous…*daily*…have you noticed? All these months.
Remember when Biden said that it was “patriotic” to pay higher taxes? I mean…but these people don’t pay taxes, so where is the “patriotism” pfft. Obnoxious liars they are.

Tanya: “He’s here for us, let’s be there for him and not try to bring him down. ”
Oh please. He hardly knows her and only met her as an adult, this sideshow is just distracting the fundamentalist Right. I doubt Obama is giving it a second thought.

skinny dog: “How convenient just for the purpose of electing of our greatest leader PBO.”
So *President Bush* (Oct 31, prior to the election) was issuing orders just for the purpose of electing Obama? How tight is your tin foil hat?

obama shoud just make his auntie part of the ripoff package, like this:
Florida citrus growers, California wine growers and a range of agricultural interests are pushing a tiny change that would allow farmers to more quickly depreciate new fields. High-tech and pharmaceutical companies want to save billions in taxes by including a plan that would allow them to bring overseas profits back home at lower tax rates. Labor unions are pressing Congress to make sure that new government funding for green technology results in jobs with good pay and benefits for workers.
Together, the competing lobbying efforts are likely to drive up the overall cost of the stimulus package that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats hope to enact by the end of next week. The Senate version of the legislation, which Senate leaders hope to approve by week’s end, has already swelled to $885 billion, according to a new estimate released Monday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

OK get ready for the belly laugh of the day…The MSN is reporting that FEMA did an excellent job on the devasting Ice storm in kentucky and surrounding areas.. As the Obama administration of corruption, reached an all time failure, the media is in ful coverup mode.. LAst nights news reported in Kentucky that Death and destruction reign. That Fema is still a no show in many places…This media should be investigated for passing on propaganda..HAs this country become Leninist. Is the media approaching the “pravada” style of reporting? CNBC Cramer equates Obamas rants and raves on capitialism to Lenin

Frank – AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

jhw539 – AMEN!

Apparently this guy can do whatever he wants . Ologo Prez!
====================
And the media just decides not to tell us about it. I just wish people would Stop paying for the non-newspaers. Let them go broke then maybe they would start reporting the news. This is what makes this man so scary, they are ALL covering for him.

Oh the hope that Obama has given to so many.
Hope to illegals that they can live openly in America, getting welfare checks and health care, and maybe attend an inaugural ball one day.
Hope to tax cheats that they too can avoid thousands in taxes and penalties-maybe even hold a position in the Obama cabinet.
Hope to terrorist that they can terrorize, be released and terrorize again.
Hope to other politicians that Americans will remain gullible and vote for another fraud one day.
Hope and the era of responsibility…

@Rush,
Then arrest him and try him. No problem here. :)

Ah, the vainglorious One. Just as the “stimulus” bill was more about self-fulfillment of their own pet issues, rather than actually stimulating the economy, The One’s idea of “work” is to sign a piece of paper.

allegory of the cave at it’s best….. america is falling apart piece by piece all around us, yet THIS matters somehow at this point? can we opt to deport legal citizens instead, since we seem so fascinated with what people tells us and what we see on T.V., can we vote people off our country? i vote ALIPAC, 1) they’re drawing attention away from whats really ailing the U.S. at the moment 2) their timing and methods are for nothing other than to gain support and therefore money using misinformation 3) idiotic incorrect accusations such as these do nothing but cause divisions.
this article fails to mention that she is NOT here illegaly. shocking.

President please stop trying to fit in with the republicans they don’t want nothing but to try and undermind every thing you do or say in every way they can. Republicans themself never never ever were to keen on following laws just ask Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush Crime Family.
Please tell them were they can go. I get it that it’s not a red state or a blue state, but dam enough is enough

As usual, the right is up to its old tricks. Instead of comming up with solutions, they are trying to destroy people with personal attacks.
Will they ever learn?
I don’t think so!

Barack Obama promised a “clean break from business as usual” in Washington. It hasn’t quite worked out that way.
On Jan. 21, the day after his inauguration, Obama issued an executive order barring any former lobbyists who join his administration from dealing with matters or agencies related to their lobbying work. Nor could they join agencies they had lobbied in the previous two years.
However, William J. Lynn III, his choice to become the No. 2 official at the Defense Department, recently lobbied for military contractor Raytheon. And William Corr, tapped as deputy secretary at Health and Human Services, lobbied through most of last year as an anti-tobacco advocate. Corr says he will take no part in tobacco matters in the new administration.
Daschle, a former senator tapped to head Health and Human Services, is not technically a lobbyist. But he was paid more than $5.2 million over the past two years as he advised health insurers and hospitals and worked in other industries such as energy and telecommunications.

Apparently this guy can do whatever he wants . Ologo Prez!

———————————-AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!!!!

FGW…LOL you’ve got to be kidding. Haven’t you been watching the news. Obama has not even had his 100 days yet and already he is defending tax cheats, felony law breakers, to his cabinet positions…Kinda makes you wonder what he has in his back ground….Change?? Change of what?? People have the right to be concerned and question who or what they voted for…Thus far I am looking forward to 2012..

why hasn’t Obama simply pardoned with dear “Auntie” who he allowed to live illegally in a near slum whilst defrauding the public housing authority? While he is at it he could steamroll his brother’s asylum, who he allows to live in a shack in a slumtown in Kenya and pardon his brother also (his brother recently had some illegal drug legal problems apparently. He was likely “racially targetted” and so Obama could give him political asylum!)

Country is in turmoil, people are losing jobs, retiress losing money, we are in two war and all they think of illegal aunt, as if that will solve rest of the problem. LOL.

I love how conservatives go to the ABC NEWS site and rant about how the media isn’t covering this. Hello? You are reading about it on ABC News! They would seem to be covering it.
The same goes for the “liberal media” The number one news program is Fox, the number one radio show is Rush….but yet somehow our media is LIBERAL?

“Oh please we all can’t be responsible for our black sheep relatives. If that’s the case WE ALL should be doing same.”
Exactly! We all know that there are some in every family and we also know that we are no more responsible for their actions than Obama is for his relatives he barely knows.

We’re trying like h*ll to fix this country before it’s too late, and they’re trying to deport one poor assylum-seeking old woman. That’s clear enough, isn’t it?

I am so sick of you people who are jumping at everything President Obama does. Attacking everything. Dachele has withdrawn. Obama’s step-aunt is not here illegally. His half brother was busted for 1 joint. OOOH!!!
Look he is trying to work with the Repubs but they are of course, being thugs and not trying to come together in this terrible time. Look if you creeps have your way and he fails we all fail. The country fails and the price of that is not acceptable to the American people. Can’t we come together in this time of disaster?? As
Americans?
Please give President Obama a chance. Things can not change overnight.

In November 2008, Obama told Katie Couric, “If she is violating laws those laws have to be obeyed. We’re a nation of laws. Obviously that doesn’t lessen my concern for her, I haven’t been able to be in touch with her. But I’m a strong believer you have to obey the law.”

it sounds like by deporting her will solve every Americans problem, will help country to back from the recession, will help everyone to get back to their job and as well as the countries most broken immigration system………………..Shame on you those who support Republican.
Todays America in a bad shape and in every way you look around and who should we count on for that ???? the entire responsibility goes to Republican and its conservative. sucha Hippocrates.

“Conservative Group Tries to Make Obama’s Aunt an Immigration Issue” — I don’t think the conservatives have to try very hard on this one. It IS undeniably an immigration issue – she is here illegally. The difference is that this one illegal immigrant is related to the president so, she will get special treatment.

What? It is the auntie who by remaining here in the US at US taxpayer’s expense has created the issue and not some “conservative group.” Obama should have resolved this by 1. making her a houseguest in his Chicago residence, 2. by asking her to leave. Cheers

Obama’s going to need another trillion dollar spending bill just to take of all his Islamist relatives who violated American law to get welfare. We won’t even have “pocket change to believe in” after we pick up the bill for Obama’s family.

Oh, get real. I have a few step-relatives I don’t know, and really don’t want to become acquainted with. Why would they be my responsibility? If they had arrived in the U.S. legally but had been told to leave, certainly it wouldn’t be up to me either to take care of them or get them deported if they had avoided leaving. Get a life, complainers: volunteer in a soup kitchen or homeless family center, help tutor children of inmates, drive old ladies to medical appointments, but QUIT WHINING.

I think this incident will be a good indicater as to whether President Obama believes in enforcing our laws fairly.There’s no excuse for ignoring our immigration laws.Just because this lady is kin to the President shouldn’t be an excuse for treating her case any differently than any other illegal immigrant.

There is nothing “right wing” about wanting our immigration laws enforced. In fact, Obama’s aunt has made a mockery of our laws by ignoring for years a deportation order to leave, then receiving “unusual” (i.e. preferential) treatment that has effectively allowed her to stay — all because of her relation to Obama.
See this from the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama, whose aunt has been living in the United States illegally.
The unusual directive from the Homeland Security Department came amid concerns that such arrests might generate “negative media or congressional interest,” according to a newly disclosed federal document obtained by The Associated Press.
The directive makes clear that U.S. officials worried about possible election implications of arresting Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama’s late father, who at the time was living in public housing in Boston. She is now believed to be living in Cleveland.
